Now the manufacturer says the integrated foot bed has been made with something to help prevent foot odor. What actual owners say is that if worn with socks they don't stink, if worn without socks they can stink (big shock). Luckily they are easily machine washable. BONUS: They have a wide toebox, so your toes aren't going to be rubbing the edges.

Some people were reporting blisters being a problem, while others were saying they hiked 25 miles in them after just purchasing these shoes and had no trouble whatsoever. Honestly, we find this to be true of just about any shoe, but thought you should know what we are hearing.

These vegan shoes are great for long distance hiking through rough terrain. We had folks tell us to "forget boots, hike in these" and that "crossing rivers is no problem, you'll be try in half an hour". After some sleuthing, we found out that last statement is true because they are made of a highly breathable mesh.

"Super light. Super comfortable. Super fast." is what we are hearing about these Hoka One One vegan men's running shoes. We've been told they have the perfect amount of cushioning for speed work or long distance running. Is it wrong that we just really like how these look? I mean, check out that bold style?

We are going to let the words of one happy owner of this vegan running shoe speak for us "The Clifton might well be the Holy Grail of road shoes: cushioned but not mushy, supportive but not heavy, fast enough for speed work, forgiving enough for long-distance slogging. So far I've put about 100km into the Cliftons, including some light trails. Delighted with them."

I sure hate it when I find something AWESOME and FORGET to pin the page for later!

Ok, so bearing in mind we are a pair of self-confessed "moseyiers, how well did we do? Are these some cool vegan men's running shoes or what? As always be sure to tell us if you love it (psst... especially if you LOVE IT), hate it or are looking for something else in the comments down yonder (or on social @TheVeganBanana or Facebook/VeganBanana)
